The Coal Saga: Chapter 5
(All characters except the ones I made up are from DBZ, in other words don't sue me. I'm just writing a fanfic here.)
Coal watched in mild surprise as Sapphire slowly made her way to him. The fact that a strange aura had surrounded her did not surprise him, or cause him to have any fear in the least. Though the only thing that did catch his attention was the fire that he could see pulsating from her eyes, giving her the look of complete determination.
"So does the little girl wanna play?" he asked in a cute voice, mocking her.
"Your going down Coal. My father is strong. He'll be able to survive me ripping you apart." she replied in a low, almost evil sounding voice.
Everyone standing in the group behind her watched in awe. The only two who seemed animated at all were her mother and Trunx.
"I have to help her!" yelled Trunx as he struggled against Goten's grasp.
"You know as well as I do that you have no chance against Coal. Let her go and see if she's all talk or if she really does have the power to defeat him." Goten reassured him, letting his arms rest as Trunx stopped fighting.
"Don't worry Trunx..." started Jade as she walked over to him.
"Remember that Sapphire has Cell's genes in her. And if anyone can fight that..that thing. It will be her, and her alone." she continued, placing a hand on Trunx's shoulder. He realized that she was correct, and the best thing to do now was wait, and pray.
Sapphire took a fighting stance in front of Coal.
"So lets see what your really made up Coal." she muttered, her voice full of utter confidence.
"Your pretty confident for a little brat."
"Heh....you know it."
"Well lets see if you have the strength to back up that talk." was the last thing that was uttered before Sapphire immediately charged at Coal, beating the unprepared tyrant many times in the head with her fist. He quickly got his bearings set though, and started to immediately block her approaching fists. Though he found that he was unable to block many of them.
"You little brat!" he screamed, taking a wild punch at her, completely missing her.
"Goku was right about you. You do have a nasty temper." she said smirking, as she gave him a punch that sent him reeling a couple of feet back.
"I'll show you a temper!" he screamed charging at her. This burst of energy caught her off gaurd and it was now her turn to go reeling back a bit. He immediately connected with a kick that knocked her to the ground. Afterwards he stood over her, looking down at the fallen girl.
"So do you give up shorty?" he asked with a laugh. She slowly looked up at him.
"Don't call me shorty....." she muttered, and in a sudden uppercut sent him flying into the air. She immediately connected with Goku's original plan to double fist slam him back to the earth. Though this time is actually worked, and Coal was soon face down in the dirt.
"Why you little insect! I'm tired of playing these stupid games. I let you have your fun because I thought you were totally powerless. But I guess I'll actually have to teach you a lesson now!" he screamed as he dug his nails into the dirt. After he let his rage subside he quickly took a fighting stance, his gaze meeting with that of Sapphire's, whom was still flying around him at that very moment.
"Well I'm waiting. Why don't come and get me?" she said mockingly.
"Oh I will....." and with that he made a b-line straight for her. The speed he was showing surpassed all that he had shown before, and Sapphire soon realized that she was on the reaceiving end of many punches and kicks. After a few seconds of this she immediately started fighting back, and the fight slowly sank to the level of where they would just start seeing who could punch harder. Sapphire would hit Coal, and then Coal would hit back. For a short while this went on until both seemed pretty tired. Then suddenly Coal grabbed Sapphire by the head and slammed it into his knee. The tired girl fell to the ground hard.
"Sapphire!" Trunx yelled, trying to run to her. But once again he was held back by Goten.
"Don't! You'll just get yourself killed. And how will that help Sapphire!?" Goten yelled, having trouble restraining his friend.
"Dont' worry Trunx. She's not done yet." said Goku as he turned his head back to the fight. His eyes burned with determination as he watched Sapphire slowly get up.
"C'mon Sapphire! You can beat him!" Goku yelled over, trying to encourage the girl.
Sapphire glanced over at Goku with a smirk.
"Thanks Goku. But trust me, I don't need any encouragement. I'm going to kill this thing and we can go home." she said confidently, as her eyes locked onto Coal. Watching as his form lowered to the ground in front of crater she had made when she landed.
"At least you have some fight left in you." he said with a smirk.
"More then you know." she added in with a smirk of her own. Coal's confident look was slowly taken away as she violently charged at him, hitting him with her whole body. He stepped back a little, feeling the wind been knocked out of him. He fell down to his knees clutching his stomach. He looked badly beaten and it seemed that maybe the fight had just taken a major turning point.
"How...how can I be losing to a brat like this!" he screamed in anger and pain, as his eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head. Sapphire, realizing that she had finally had gained the upper hand, walked over to him to finish the job.
"I guess that just goes to show you....."
"FOOL!!" he screamed as he quickly stood up, grabbing her by the head and slamming her into the ground. When he picked her back up to show everyone, she was unconscience. A gasp could be heard as they all watched the scene unfold.
"He was...he was bluffing!" cried Vegeta, not believing what had happened.
"Thats impossible. Her power was so great how could he of not been injured by it!" Goku added, staring in horror at the scene.
"Sapphire!!!" Jade screamed, as she watched the overconfident Coal starting to squeeze her head like a melon. Trunx, who had been watching the seen with tears flowing down his face finally snapped into action.
"Stop it now!!!" he screamed in utter rage. Goten tried to hold him back, but soon found himself unable to restrain him. As Trunx lunged at Coal, he realized that he was about to use his full force and crush her head. And worst of all, he realized he wouldn't be able to make it...
"Now you die!!" Coal screamed squeezing as hard as he could. Trunx closed his eyes, not wanting to watch one of his dearest friends die such in such a horrible way.
There was a flash of light, and suddenly Sapphire was gone. Everyone looked to where Coal's hand was, and noticed that she was literally gone. Even Coal had no idea where she had gone. And just like everyone else he searched the area trying to locate her.
Finally his eyes rested on Sapphire's savior. Standing a short ways away from Coal stood Frieza, his back to him.
"Frieza?" he asked in utter surprise. Though is curiousity turned to laughter.
"You actually came here to save that stupid girl?! Frieza the tyrant of the galaxy?! And also Frieza the incredible weakling?! I don't even know why you bothered saving her. After I defeat you, I'll kill her right after. And I know I won't have any trouble defeating a weakling like you!" he yelled in between laughs, mocking Frieza. Though the white lizard seem unfazed.
"Shut up..." he muttered.
"What?" Coal asked, getting serious again.
"I said, shut your stupid mouth." he continued, turning around to face him.
"Hmmm. Pretty confident aren't we. I wonder what makes you so confident? Wait, now that I look at you something's different isn't there." Coal stated, looking Frieza over. What Coal was talking about was the simple fact that the purple spots on Frieza's head, stomach, legs, and feet were no longer purple anymore. But now they were in fact black.
"Yes....I spent all night and half of today training just to fight you Coal. A year and a half all alone, with only my hate for creatures like you driving me on. And through that training I reached a new level so to speak." he muttered in an evil voice, still holding onto Sapphire.
"Your hate for me? I don't understand why you wouldn't want to be my ally. Frieza, the greatest evil in the universe. Frieza, the unbeatable. Frieza, the...."
"Can it. I'm different now. I don't want that life anymore. I like it here, on earth. And I won't let you, or anyone else destroy it." he interrupted. At that very moment a extremely happy Trunx ran over.
"Here kid. Take Sapphy to safety." Frieza said calmly, handing her over to Trunx.
"Frieza? You don't stand a chance agianst him." he said quietly as he took Sapphire into his own arms.
"Yes, I know. Even at my new power level, I stand no chance. But maybe I can get him to talk a bit about himself. Now get out of here." Frieza said, keeping his cool. Trunx complied and carried the fallen Sapphire over to the others, where Jade immediately began tending to her.
"So Coal. Are you just going to stand there or are we going to fight?"
"You seem awfully confident. But remember that Sapphire was just as confident as you, and look at her now." Coal replied, unamused but yet another person who thought they could beat him.
"Well I would like to know where you get such awesome power. Where do you come from anyway?" Frieza asked, still trying to keep his cool.
"Ahhh, so you wanna know about me eh? Well since you'll be dead soon I'll tell you. Its actually a simple story. After you fools destroyed Dr. Gero's lab there wasn't anything left that functioned. But if you had checked even further you would of realized there was another hatch leading further down. In there was the true master computer. Within that computer was Dr. Gero's conscience itself. With the last bit of supplies that were left he created a robotic skeleton. Me. Though the skeleton was only about as strong as one of the androids of past. And Gero needed more materials, but luckily you Frieza arrived on earth, with a fresh mechanical body. The only thing that was needed was to take them from you, which I did easily. Though when I was finished I was still only about as strong as Cell, and I needed to be stronger, much stronger if I were to be assured victory. Therefore my program was changed so that I no longer had a physical body, I guess you could call me a spirit. I was powerless at this point, and the only way I could become whole again was to possess Cell. The only one who I could. Therefore I did. I attacked him while he was sleeping and over a short period of time took over his entire being." Cell stated as he remembered the whole thing like a nice dream.
"So your really ok just being Dr. Gero's pawn like that?" Frieza asked, trying to make this monster refrain from fighting anymore.
"Of course not. The first thing I did when I left Kami's place was go back to make sure I destroyed that computer. And now that its gone, I'm free to destroy this world. I'm only following Gero's plan to kill Goku beacuse Goku is the only one who might oppose me." Coal corrected Frieza. Out of ideas, Frieza had no choice but to fight.
"So little lizard, now that you have heard my life story, are you ready to fight?" Coal asked taking a battle stance. Withough any more options, Frieza took a fighting stance of his own.
"I guess I have no choice." Frieza muttered. The battle immediately started after that. Coal charged at Frieza, knocking him in the head and back very quickly as he flew by. Frieza retorted by wrapping his tail around Coal's leg and kicking him away harshly.
Coal, seeing that maybe the lizard did have some fight in him, immediately bounced back, hitting Frieza square in the face. After a few dizzy step backwards, Freiza regained his stance and charged at Coal again. The fight quickly turned into the same fight that everyone had seen before. Each fighter would take turns hitting each other as hard as they could. Though since Coal had already been through this, Frieza was gaining the upperhand. Frieza finally realized that he knew how he was going to win this, and he knew that Coal wouldn't be able to stop him. His mind immediately focused on what he had to do.
"And now...." started Frieza as he slammed him down to the ground with a burst of strength.
"You DIE!!!" he screamed as he flew straight down at the tyrant to give him the crushing blow.
A gasp could be heard reverberating through the desert as the next few seconds of the fight seemed to play out in slow motion. Frieza's attempt to crush Coal's head failed as Coal had seemed to gain new found strength to roll to the side. And in a sudden instant Coal was now floating over Frieza.
The white lizard only had a moment to glance up at Coal, as the force of Frieza's punch had pinned him to the ground for a millisecond. And Coal being who he was took that millisecond to finish things off. Freiza's eyes opened wide as he saw a blast heading straight at him. He attempted to fly past it but there was a sudden explosion in mid air, where Frieza and the blast had passed each other.
Everyone watched in anticipation to see if Frieza was alright, and still able to fight. The only one who seemed to stare in horror was Goku.
"That...that wasn't a normal blast. That is a attack I've seen Krillin and Frieza use before. Thats was a Ki-Enzen (Destructo Disk)." Goku said in a low tone. Everyone turned to him, wondering why that fact made a difference.
Frieza looked up at Coal wondering why he was laughing hysterically. His fingers were pointed to the right, as if he had directed something. Suddenly his vision of Coal split in two, and Frieza could suddenly rationalize what had just happened.
"Coal used Frieza's own attack on him. When Frieza tried to dodge it.....he only used his mind to have it hit him again. Which means....which means..." Goku started, as he seemed to be having trouble saying the exact words..
Everyone suddenly realized what Goku was talking about as they watched Frieza split into halves. All of their mouths dropped open, not believing that someone that they all knew was now in two pieces. Even Vegita couldn't believe that Coal had done such a thing. And after what seemed like a brief moment, the halves of the former tyrant fell to the ground. Frieza was dead....
